Coup de coeur
(Graphic Novel), by Clara
Clentine thought she only liked boys, she wanted to be more or less like everyone else, but when she meets Emma, a young woman with blue hair, everything starts to change in her head. This book takes a gentle, emotional approach to the discovery of a new sexuality.
An important note for me: the visual aspect of this book is much more artistic and poetic than in the French film of the same name.
Blue is the Warmest Color is a tender, bittersweet, full-colour graphic novel about the elusive, reckless magic of love: a lesbian love story for the ages that bristles with the energy of youth, rebellion and the eternal light of desire. Clementine is a junior in high school who seems 'normal' enough: she has friends, family and even a boyfriend. When her openly gay best friend takes her to a gay bar, she becomes captivated by Emma, a punkish, confident girl with blue hair, an event that leads Clementine to discover new aspects of herself, both passionate and tragic.
